*whispers* kay but what about miraculous vigilante!au
- no kwami/ superpowers
- hawkmoth is the kingpin of the notorious crime ring terrorizing paris under the name “Akuma”
- organized crime is at an all time high, and no one feels safe anymore
- surprise surprise, the police are useless
- enter: marinette duapin cheng, sweet and cunning and tired of seeing her city being terrorized
- so she obscures her identity, setting out into the night streets armed only with her wits, 7 years of aikido lessons, and the burning desire to clean up the streets
- soon all the tabloids are talking about a faceless heroine dubbed “the ladybug“ taking down muggers left and right around paris’ seedy underbelly
- enter: adrien agreste, who’s inspired by the stories and tired of living his oppressively structured life
- so he suits up as well, masking his recognizable face as he and his fencing sabers seek out the mysterious vigilante
- he helps ladybug out of a tight spot, they team up
- im talking infiltrating hideouts
- im talking “cut off one head and two more take its place”
- im talking red-x’d pictures and yarn stretched across a cork board
- imagine the student in their class arguing. “well i think they should just leave it to the authorities!” chloe shouts. “yeah, like the cops could do anything without the help of Ladybug and Chat Noir,” Alya counters
- half of paris loves the duo, and the other half want them off the streets for good
its basically netflix daredevil au at this point I KNOW- im talking stakeouts
- im talking drug busts
- im talking midnight motorcycle chases
- VIGILANTE!AU
